Allen, the NFL's reigning sack leader, told FOXSports.com that the Vikings and Buccaneers have held trade talks with the Chiefs and he anticipates a deal will get done prior to next week's draft.

"It's a situation that works out best for both sides," Allen told FOXSports.com. "I can go to a team that is competing for a championship right now. The Chiefs can get valuable draft picks to rebuild with."

Allen said he is flying to Minnesota and has a visit set up with the Vikings by this weekend. He is tentatively scheduled to meet with Tampa Bay next week. The Jacksonville Jaguars had previously inquired with Allen's camp as well.

The Pro Bowl defensive end is the Chiefs' franchise player, but re-signing in Kansas City will be a problem as the team is looking to stockpile draft picks.

Allen said the two sticking points are working out terms of a deal with a new team and the Chiefs agreeing to compensation for a trade. A package of first- and second-round picks or one of first- and third-round picks in the upcoming draft have been discussed as possible terms. It's unclear at this point what it will take to get the deal done.

Allen, a four-year veteran, led the league in sacks in 2007 with 15.5 and has 13 forced fumbles in the past three seasons.

It seems like the Chiefs had Allen in a holding pattern until they brought the top 5 players in for a visit. It looks like the Chiefs will be keeping their #5 pick to take one of those guys while also grabbing an Offensive Linemen at 17 or 20.

Perhaps the Chiefs think C. Long will be there at #5. That would mean J. Long to Miami, Dorsey/Gholston to the Rams, Ryan to Atlanta and McFadden to Oakland....quite possible.

I'm kind of on the fence about whether i'd like an additional 2nd round pick this year or another 1st rounder next year.

Whatever team he goes to, he's gonna improve their record by a couple of games so the draft pick for next year will probably be later in the round.

Chiefs Statement on the Status of DE Jared Allen

Apr 17, 2008, 1:50:01 PM

“We will confirm that we have been in conversation with a few teams regarding the possibility of acquiring Jared Allen’s contractual rights. Any potential agreement would be contingent on the Chiefs receiving appropriate compensation and Jared’s representative reaching a contract agreement.
“Jared is not an exclusive franchise player. Therefore, based on the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, he has the right to visit and negotiate with other teams. However, for any trade to be completed, the Chiefs would need to reach an agreement on compensation. At this point, all of these discussions are preliminary.”

Honestly, I think I was pretty clear in another post when I said this was going to happen and that Allen would be sent on his Merry way. I think he has also made it clear to management he does not want to play for Herm.

The Chiefs can trade Allen's rights to any team as long as both teams agree to compensation.

If Allen signs a tender with another team and the Chiefs refuse to match the offer, then the Chiefs recieve two first round picks.

Another thing to consider that hasn't been brought up is that this may be posturing by the Chiefs with Allen. In order for ANY team to make a trade for Allen would hinge on whether or not that team could sign Allen to a new contract. This may be Carl letting Allen talk to other teams and see what kind of contract they would offer him.

Perhaps Carl is actually showing Allen and his agent that the contract the Chiefs have offered Allen is what the market will bare. What if during Allen's negotiations with other teams, he realizes the best contract offer is actually the one he recieved from KC?

The problem with all this "behind the scenes" talk is that as a fan, we don't actually know what's going on. As has been said numerous times already; I find it hard to believe that this move would have the endorsement of the head coach who is trying to build around young defensive players....not trade them away.

I've said numerous times that I thought trading Allen would be advantageous for the Chiefs if they can grab at least 3 high draft picks. If Chris Long falls to the Chiefs, I think Allen is replaced for the long term.

This trade could be the only way the Chiefs rebuild their line if they can grab #17, #47 and #82, the Chiefs will be in a good position with at least 13 draft picks and 6 of those picks coming in the top 3 rounds.

If they can get the Viking's top 3 picks for Allen, we'll have a DE, 2 new CBs and possibly a new OLine all coming from the first 3 rounds. That could be HUGE.

PFT:

As teams like the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers explore the possibility of working out a long-term deal with the Kansas City Chiefs for franchise-tagged defensive end Jared Allen, the looming concern is Allen’s two prior DUI arrests, which culminated in a four-game suspension in 2007 that Commissioner Roger Goodell eventually cut in half.

And due to the elimination from the 2006 revisions to the Collective Bargaining Agreement of sweeping signing bonus forfeiture provisions, any team that gives Allen a huge chunk of guaranteed money will be able to recover only a limited amount of the cash if Allen, for example, celebrates his new contract by bending an elbow moments before driving a car.

So with Allen wanting $30 million in guaranteed money, there’s simply no way for any team to get adequate protection. The easiest (and perhaps only) way for a team to ensure that it doesn’t get burned is to dump a bunch of the money into annual roster bonuses and/or salaries that are guaranteed for injury only. Then, if Allen acts up in any given year, he can be cut and the future financial obligations can be avoided.

Whether Allen has really put his past in his behind (or something), no one really knows. Bucs running back Michael Bennett has vouched for his former Chiefs teammate, according to our friends at Pewter Report: “Jared has really matured and he’s over that,” Bennett said. “I’ve been around the guy and know how serious he takes his job. A lot of people make mistakes and we learn from them.”

But then there’s the little issue of Allen’s restaurant/bar. It’s called Club 69. And if the double-entendre based on Allen’s jersey number wasn’t enough, the club’s far less subtle motto is “Wine ‘Em, Dine ‘Em, 69 ‘Em.”

Yeah, Jared has matured.

Look, he’s a dominant player. He’s arguably one of the best defensive ends in the game. But if this guy thinks that anyone is going to make a huge financial investment without finding a way to protect itself against him having another run-in with alcohol, then perhaps he already has had one.

Teams are protected from is guaranteed money. Ever heard of Michael Vick? He had to pay back a large portion of the guaranteed money in his contract, because he got in trouble, and couldn't play.

Ther was this other guy named Ricky Williams, who had a similar situation.

Also, some contracts include "clauses" specifically designed to protect the team from paying a huge "guaranteed" amount, with a palyer getting suspended.

Whining about that, is just a way of trying to lower the pricetag of what you are trying to get.

This is from wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt, but if it's right then we get 2 1st round draft picks for Jared because we hit him with the non-exclusive franchise tag.

There are two types of franchise tag designations: the exclusive rights franchise tag, and non-exclusive rights franchise tag:
An "exclusive" franchise player must be offered a one-year contract for an amount equal to or greater than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position as of a date in April of the current year in which the tag will apply, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater. Exclusive franchise players cannot negotiate with other teams.
A "non-exclusive" franchise player must be offered a one-year contract for an amount equal to or greater than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position in the previous year, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater. A non-exclusive franchise player may negotiate with other NFL teams, but if he signs an offer sheet from another team, the original team has a right to match the terms of that offer, or if it does not match the offer and thus loses the player, to receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.It is the team's choice whether it uses an exclusive or a non-exclusive franchise tag. While it may seem that a team would always choose the exclusive option, there are two reasons a team might prefer the non-exclusive option instead. The first is that the salary is based on the top 5 salaries of the previous year instead of the current year, which could be a significant difference. The second reason is that a team may want the opportunity for the two first-round draft picks they would receive if they lost their player.

That is if he signs with the Vikings...if he is traded then the situation is different. If he signs with the Vikings the Chiefs can simply match the contract and keep him...so essentially by putting the "tag" on Allen, Carl allowed Allen to go out in the market and set his market price, and then Carl and Herm can decide whether that price is worth more or less than two 1st round picks.

I'm pretty sure i said this earlier in the thread.

There IS a difference between outright signing with a team and being traded to a team. Allen should be getting a long term contract ironed out with the Vikings. Once that is done, the Vikings and Chiefs will talk about trading his "RIGHTS." Basically, they'll be trading Allen's franchise tag, then Allen will sign the new deal from the Vikings.

The Chiefs probably don't want only a first rounder this year and one next year. They probably want to find a way to get all of Allen's value in this upcoming draft and not split it up between two drafts.

So are we guaranteed two 1st round picks from them or not?

Only if he signs with the team outright.

If he's traded, the Chiefs forfeit those two first rounders and a new deal between the Vikings and Chiefs will be reached via trade but will probably have the same value.

Agreed!

Why would we offer a trade rather than just making the Vikes pay him an outrageous amount of money and taking their 2 first round picks?

Do you think the team could get even more picks?

Like i said, i think the Chiefs are trying to get the same value in this year's draft as they would receive from a first rounder in next year's draft. So basically, they're trying to squeeze the Vikings for two first rounders THIS YEAR. (I imagine)

In order to do that, the Vikings would have to send either a player or the rest of their draft from this season and probably a couple next season to make up for the draft chart point differences.

I haven't looked at the Viking's roster lately. Are there any young players from that team that we would want to step in and fill a hole or two?

A little off subject here, but I just saw that Jared Allen's Sports ARENA and Grill.

I can't remember what I called it yesterday but I think I said it was Jared Allen's Sports BAR and Grill.

I think he is doing a GREAT job at turning his life around and disassociating himself from the partying lifestyle.

We will get great picks for this.

I will miss you Jared.

That is if he signs with the Vikings...if he is traded then the situation is different. If he signs with the Vikings the Chiefs can simply match the contract and keep him...so essentially by putting the "tag" on Allen, Carl allowed Allen to go out in the market and set his market price, and then Carl and Herm can decide whether that price is worth more or less than two 1st round picks.

Problem is Allen has said he doesnt want to play for the Herm and Cp anymore. Chiefs have to offload him now or risk loosing his value next year. I hate to see him go but CP has already messed this situation up as it is. Only way to salvage it is to get a lot of draft picks.

One good thing is it looks like Allen will be going to a different division and conference.

True, I guess I should have said just CP. But, dont you think there is a little resentment from JA. Herm is suppose to have a lot of pull with CP and if Herm would say, "We need him, dont let him go." Wouldn't CP have a little more heart in getting JA signed?

Sure. But to a certain extent. I'm glad CPs poor contract signings only end with RBs. While HH seems to believe whole heartedly that JA is no longer the guy he used to be, it's hard to give a guy the kind of money JA is asking for knowing he's messed up twice doing the same thing while knowing if he got caught again, he's out for at least a year.

I'm not saying he isn't a great player and that we shouldn't re-sign him. I'm just saying there needs to be a limit to what we're willing to give him. It appears that in Arrowhead, there is a limit and Allen won't budge. That's his prerogative. But the franchise needs to be smart with their money and not become the Oakland Raiders who will find themselves in salary cap hell with a bunch of bad contracts.

We already have LJ's on the books. We don't need more bad contracts.

Sure. Anything is possible. But trading the best player on your team, in his prime, is often not the "best thing to happen to" a team.

By the way, we have been rebuilding for two seasons now. It seems like a bad idea to me, to start rebuilding again.

Oooohhh. I thought we were trying to rebuild a football team. (usual terms including a three year process.) But sure. We have built a pretty decent defense.

Really? You honestly can't see the flaw in your thinking? Removing one piece of the defense to rebuild the O-line and fill holes at other positions is really "getting rid" of the defense? If Allen played on offense, I'd still be all for trading his *** for more picks to fill holes on the team.

When a team is rebuilding, the best player is usually the best bargaining chip that team has....it just happens to be that our guy plays on defense.

But you're right....let's get rid of this coach so some other coach can come in and start HIS rebuilding process and set us back another 5 years....that's good.

AHAHAHAAAHA!!! You don't fill holes this way. You create them. And then hope that someone can fill it from the draft. But everyone hits and misses in the draft. You don't discard the ones you hit on, just to try again.

Now that I think about it, Vermeil isn't a great drafter. That doesn't mean he isn't a good coach, though. When he won it with the Rams, I think the only players he drafted of value were Holt and Pace, and I know the Rams had to give up draft pics for Pace. Mostly, Vermeil did a lot of trades and made some big free agent signings. A lot of the same things he did with us, just didn't work out as well here.

Oh, and don't think the Rams aren't feeling the effects of all those lost draft picks. Last time I checked, they had an even worse record than us last year. If you're gonna give up draft picks, you have to know 100% that you're gonna go all the way, otherwise it's not worth it.

Actually, the Rams haven't been hurting for draft picks lately.

Aside from one pick per round, they have had these extras, to replace these lost.

2007 -4th round, +5th +7th.

2006 -6th, + 3rd, +3rd, +7th, +7th.

2005 +3rd +4th +6th +7th

2004 -2nd, +7th

2003 +4th +5th +5th +7th

2002 +3rd

2001 -7th, +1st +1st +4th

2000 One pick each round

1999 One pick each round

For a total of, over nine drafts, two extra 1sts, minus one second, four extra 3rds, one extra 4th, three extrs 5ths, minus one 6th, and five extra 7ths.
